GdS: Sale in January? No way – Leao promises to improve for Milan | OneFootball

Rafael Leao has certainly had a difficult start to the season for AC Milan, but the Rossoneri are not even considering a sale at this point.

Talk about the Leao of old is regular, and it’s more a desperate cry to refind the player that played such a big part in winning the Scudetto. A player that ultimately seems a million miles away at this point.

This season we have seen few glimpses of that player, but for nearly €8 million per season, there has to be a higher level delivered consistently, which is why Paulo Fonseca and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are searching for an answer.

Gazzetta dello Sport describes the problem as paradoxical because there is no obvious cure to the current problems. With Ibra showing at Milanello yesterday, the main focus was to help the Portuguese find his old self, trying to mediate between the head coach and star player.

The report states that the winger felt ‘humiliated’ against Brugge, but he is still ready to play for a place. In fact, he is ready to make sacrifices, and he is ready to reduce his focus on his music to reach his former levels.

As well as this, Leao has made himself available for extra training, and whilst it will be a long journey, the right steps are being laid out. The steps to making the Portuguese winger one of the best once again.

For this reason, there are no thoughts of a sale in January, if anything were to happen, perhaps, it would be a loan, but Gazzetta states that a June departure could be considered, but is certainly not being openly discussed.
